You only need a few simple ingredients to make this velvety hot chocolate. I am using plant-based ingredients in this recipe, of course, feel free to adapt if you like.
- Φυτικό γάλα – I love vegan milk with a rich texture to make hot chocolate like soy milk or oat milk.
- Κρέμα φυτικής προέλευσης – you can use soy cream or canned coconut cream. For the latter, shake the can before measuring the amount called by the recipe. Coconut cream will add a coconut flavor that not everyone would love, but I truly think it’s an amazing combo with peppermint. You can also add more soy milk for a lighter texture.
- Τσιπς μαύρης σοκολάτας – 70% cocoa is the best for a lightly sweet hot chocolate. But feel free to use 85% for a stronger cocoa flavor.
- Σκόνη κακάο χωρίς ζάχαρη
- Maple Syrup or peppermint syrup.
- Peppermint Essence – Use only with maple syrup. If you use peppermint syrup, there’s no need to use peppermint extract, it would become overpowering.
- Εκχύλισμα βανίλιας – για γεύσεις.
For Decorating, You Need:
- Dairy-Free Whipped Cream – σαν το δικό μου Vegan σαντιγί
- Cane Candy – crushed. To crush candy canes, place them in a mortar and use the pillar to tap and press the candy into thin pieces.

It’s family time, and you may want more than two hot chocolate mugs. You can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe with great success. You can also make hot chocolate ahead of time. Store it in the fridge in a glass jar for up to two days. Rewarm it in a saucepan over medium heat just before serving.
Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Below are my answers to your most common questions about vegan hot chocolate.
The best way to make thicker hot chocolate is to use full-fat milk and cream and melt chocolate chips in it. Another option is to melt nut butter in your drink. Try melting one tablespoon of cashew butter for an ultra-thick hot chocolate.
Yes, it does, and even more if made entirely with cocoa powder. Surprisingly, the cocoa beans used to make cocoa powder contain some caffeine. However, it is very low compared to coffee, and it’s safe to drink hot chocolate at night or offer to kids because 2 cups of hot chocolate contain only 4-5 mg of caffeine. Keep in mind that 2 cups of coffee contain at least 190 mg.
It depends on the type of hot chocolate you drink. Store-bought hot chocolate is packed with thickeners, sugar, and additives your body doesn’t need. Also, making hot chocolate with high saturated fat milk or cream is not good for you. However, making your own hot chocolate, like my σπιτικό μείγμα ζεστής σοκολάτας, using unrefined sugar and plant-based milk, is better for you.
In fact, cocoa contains flavanols, which are bioflavonoids that μελέτες have shown may decrease the risk of heart disease.
